The tower has a crenellated parapet with angle gargoyles and angle and

of nave, still has the original stone holy water font. The north
aisle windows are four-light leaded with ogee tracery whereas those to

cusped heads both sides. There is a large five-light chancel east

angle shafts and simply moulded caps. Elaborately moulded chancel

vestry and south by Crewe Memorial Chapel. This contains alabaster
C14 and C16 recumbent effigies of a knight and a former rector, a
marble figure of Lady Houghton by J E Boehm, a Victorian Gothic

large wall monuments to other members of the Crewe family. The
chancel-chapel wall has two arched openings fitted with high quality
metal grilles. The south wall of the chancel has twin arched sedilia
